Finally got my reservation email from Apple but now they are telling me my number cannot be upgraded. I have a Magenta Max plan and it’s not a business line. Not sure what’s going on.
 
Has anyone successfully completed a reservation from Apple.com? Reading what happened to the folks in the thread I’m scared to open the link to complete the order lol

I finally got my email from Apple to complete my order and it was surprisingly smooth after hearing what others went through. My order is officially placed!

YES!

My second phone allowed a normal completion, quoted the Sep 16th delivery...complete.

Check e-mail/online, its the 23rd

Apple really messed up with this one

I can cancel and get mine picked up on the 16th....how bad is it on release day now? Do they have reserve times?
 
You can still get the full $1000 promo if you order through Apple. You just need to select T-Mobile financing. Apple will take the trade-in credit directly off the phone and then T-Mobile gives you the rest in bill credits.
You can do this after you’ve already placed your order?
 
Just called tmo - looks like I'll still get my iPhone 14 Pro in deep purple 128g "shipped by Sept 16." I canceled my Apple Order because I want to remain on the JOD plans. I can't quit TMO.
 
On their website (T-Mo's - not sure how up to date it actually is) the only phones that have had their ship date slip past 9/16 are:
Black PM 512GB
Gold PM 1TB
Black Pro 1TB
Silver Pro 128GB 256GB 512GB (very surprised by this - didn't think this was a popular phone or maybe it is and there just aren't as many lol)
Seems like you can get any combination of the Purple, which I thought for sure people would be scooping up.
Wow that is surprising! Definitely thought it would be more popular.

Same. I wish I didn't wake up at 5AM my time to pre-order.. when their systems were down. I called back at 1:30 PM and they had the purple ready to ship. I did get them to waive the $35 admin fee for a "phone support" on this JOD. Sucks that JOD can't be done online - and when you can't do it online, you have to call in and they have to charge you.
 
Like most, today wasn't ideal. Can I cancel an EIP agreement with T-Mobile? Delivery would be next Friday. However, with the same trade in, my Apple order would give me a 256gb over a 128gb and is actually $16/month compared to my T-mobile order of $19/month.

So monthly installment is cheaper, double the storage, and unlocked device via Apple. I would have to wait until my Oct 10-17 "as of right now" delivery date.

I can cancel my EIP still correct via TMO? I can wait the 3 weeks if needed.

Thanks for the input
 
oh thanks, so sounds like I shouldn't have to worry about that? I have 3 lines with Select Choice and the bill is $119
Seen on another site someone say that’s the price of the plan before discounts.

I checked my bill on T-Mobile site, apparently I’m saving $99 in discounts, it pretty matches up with the rate plan on Apple.
 
This is what I ended up doing, as well. Poor lady at Apple had no idea what the reservation numbers were and the system didn’t find it. T-Mobile was not help either. 🤬
I just got another link with my reservation number and it worked.

I canceled my first order (without reservation) which was arriving on 10/10. And now I purchased using reservation and it shows it as arriving on 10/3!

How did you get another link? I‘ve talked to 4 Apple employees and no one has been able to help. Did you request a new link or was it sent automatically?
 
Just canceled my order with Apple for iPhone 14 Pro Max 256GB with delivery date of Oct 10 - 17 and placed it again directly with T-Mobile, got the same $1000 trade in credit and delivery date of Sep 16th.

If you are on Magenta Max like I do, you get the same $1000 trade in deal regardless if you do it with Apple or T-Mobile. The main difference is that with Apple, the trade in value is equally divided by 24 months, while with T-Mobile, the trade in value goes into your T-Mobile account as a 1 time credit. In my case, with Apple I was going to pay $8.30 monthly and with T-Mobile is now $19.11 but I get $360 deposited in my T-Mobile account as a 1 time credit towards my phone bill.

Did the same, cancelled first order (without reservation) went to purchase using the new link for reservation and I am again getting “we cant find your reservation“ error. Ugh 😩

I opted to go with Apple for that reason. They also give you the option to put a down payment to lower the monthly cost per month. I added $99 down and therefore my bill for the phone comes out to $0 a month after bill credits and trade in.

Whether I go through Apple or T mobile.com it says I get a one time bill credit + 24 monthly bill credits
